The staff hesitated for a while. At that moment, the other visitors also said, "Sister, take us to see the children! They might welcome our presence! We want to help them, too. They surely won't hate us.""Alright! I'll take you to see them."The nun took them to a building behind the church.Once they were near, they could hear the voices of little girls playing."A portion of the girls have gone down the hill to go to school. Right now, the ones remaining in the church are either not healthy enough or they haven't reached the schooling age." The nun led the group and introduced them to the girls. "The children have to go down the hill on their own to get to school every day?" Avery asked."Yes. We would take turns sending them down, but they need to hike up and down the hill. They have it tougher than the kids who live down the hill. It's winter now, and they have to get up before the sun rises to go down the hill," the nun explained.Avery had only hiked up the hill and al

She wanted to go in and listen, but her grandmother pulled her back, forbidding her to enter."Grandma, what is that lady saying to Rose?" The girl was called Irene.She was older than three, but she, too, did not go to kindergarten. "I can't hear them. Just ask Rose about it later." The old woman was in her sixties. Her hair was white, but she was still spritely and spirited."That lady wants to take Rose down the hill. She wants to adopt Rose," said a visitor who was standing next to them. The visitor had followed Avery. Irene was filled with sadness when she heard that. She did not want Rose to leave this place.If Rose left, she would no longer have such a good playmate. Other than missing Rose, Irene was a little envious of her, too.The lady talking to Rose in the room looked very gentle. If Rose were to leave with her, she would surely treat Rose well, right?At that thought, Irene's eyes grew wet. She reached out and rubbed her eyes."Little girl, what's your name? Y

"Maybe Irene isn't here?" Avery felt sorry for Rose when she saw how hard she was yelling. "Maybe she has gone somewhere else."Rose pouted in confusion. "We only ever play here. We don't go anywhere.""Maybe she's taking a nap?" Avery said."I don't know..." Rose tugged at her clothes anxiously and headed toward the dorm. "I need to tell her before I leave, or she's going to cry if she can't find me.""Yeah, I will go with you." Avery followed Rose patiently and arrived at the girl's dorm.It was a spacious room with plenty of beds.Avery glanced inside and noticed that the beds looked clean and organized. There was no one sleeping inside the room, and Irene was nowhere to be found."Where is Irene?" Rose mumbled and ran outside.A nun stood outside the door and stopped Rose."Rose, you should leave now since you've decided that you will leave with Miss Tate here! Irene already knows that you are leaving. She’s upset and her grandmother took her away, so you don't have to loo

"I don't know the details of the will. The lawyer only offered his condolences. He did not show me the will.""Oh... He must have at least informed you about how much you are getting, right?" Violet said bitterly. "I'm sure it's a lot. Sebastian, I only want to know one thing... Did Dad leave me anything at all?"Sebastian did not want to answer that question. "I don't know, Sis. You will find out when the will is read.""Haha! Sebastian, did Dad leave you everything?" Violet asked. "Do you know who told me that?"Sebastian remained quiet. He did not know who had told his sister this, but he could sense how angry Violet was."Whatever. We will see what happens tomorrow when we meet with the lawyer!" Violet hung up.She had decided to work with Natalie rather than rely on Sebastian. At the very least, Natalie had been honest with her, whilst Sebastian was clearly hiding something from her.Meanwhile, in Aryadelle, Elliot had been waiting for almost two hours in the restaurant and

"Let's go to the hospital to get her checked up. We will decide where she lives after that!" Avery glanced at Rose. "She's a great kid, and I think she likes me too. She said that there were others who had wanted to take her away, but she turned them all down. She wasn't as afraid when she saw me.""Yeah, it'll be great if you can help her. It's not that safe for her to stay in that church." Elliot glanced at Rose's white hair and mumbled, "She looks like a little angel.""Elliot, I knew you wouldn't say no, but I didn't think you would be this enthusiastic. You surprised me.""Am I that cold of a person?" He reflected on the matter. "I think you associate me with the Elliot you knew before I met the kids. Since the children have entered my life, I've always been kind."The two bodyguards sitting in the driver and passenger seats came close to bursting into laughter.Avery studied Elliot's face and said, "Indeed, I will have to change that perception of mine. Go home and rest once

Robert looked at Rose. "My sister's name is Ivy, but she went missing.""Oh," Rose said. "I have a little sister, too. She's my best friend. Her name is Irene."Robert glanced at the hairclip on Rose's hair and said, "That's my older sister's hairclip. She might get upset if you use her things!" He paused, before continuing, "I will buy you a pretty hair clip next time, okay?"Rose beamed. "Sure. But I have no money so I can't buy you anything in return.""I have money. A lot of it. I can give you some of it," he said, before taking Rose's hand and pulling her to his room.The two children formed a bond swiftly without the help of the adults, and Avery gasped as she watched them disappear into Robert's room."Haha, looks like Robert really knows his way around the ladies! We won't have to worry about him getting a wife in the future!" Mrs. Cooper teased."He isn't that nice to other girls if I remember correctly," Elliot said. He had heard from Mrs. Cooper of a time when Rober

Elliot suppressed his laughter. "Avery, what happened to raising them strong? It's just a tumble. Let him get up on his own."She flushed. "This is not the same thing." "The floor is carpeted, and he won't get a bruise even if he tries. He won't even break his bones or anything like that." Elliot eliminated all possible excuses Avery could come up with. "Do you understand that I'm not spoiling him on purpose? Sometimes, knowing something and actually doing it are two different things."Avery glared at him, and Elliot pulled her toward him. "Let's not disturb Robert and Rose. They are having fun."Robert had completely shifted his attention from his parents to Rose. He took Rose's hand and took her to the gaming area. "Rose, let me show you my toys! I have loads of them!"He left with Rose and Elliot said, "See? He doesn't need us at all. When he gets a girlfriend in the future, you will understand that nothing is up to you anymore."Half an hour later, Layla returned home from sc

"Oh... Mommy, where did you find her?" Layla asked curiously."Mommy went to the Hightide Church, and I met Rose there," Avery said. "There are over thirty girls there! They have all been taken in by the church. I will take you there next time, okay?"Avery wanted her daughter to experience the diverse nature of life so that Layla could see what life was like for different people."Sure!" Layla agreed without hesitation. "Mommy, I will go find Rose and Robert now. I don't want Robert to mess my room up.""Avery, let's go eat! I don't think the kids are hungry right now." Elliot dragged Avery to the dining room."I'm not really that hungry as well. I shared some snacks with Rose in the afternoon." Avery followed him into the dining room regardless. "I am going to tell Wesley about Rose's condition to see if he has any idea.""Go ahead! I can't help much apart from paying, anyways." Elliot knew his own limits very well.In Wesley's mansion, Wesley received the photo of Rose from A
